 Message from President
अरणीन्थने जातु यो विरन्तुुं न चेष्टते ।
स एि लभते िह्ननमेिुं ससद्धेरवि प्रथा ॥
The one who does not stop in the midst of the act of rubbing the fire-sticks,
he/she alone obtains fire. The same is the case with success.

Dear Students,

At the outset, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to
each one of you and your loved ones a very happy and colourful Holi. May this
festival of joy bring with it colours of happiness, success, good health, knowledge,
wisdom and intellect.
Friends, pearls of wisdom are priceless and lifetime treasure. More we acquire it,
more we learn new things and unlearn old concepts, theories, approaches, models
etc. With the passage of time numerous changes occurs at both at a macro as well
as micro level, national and international levels, which in turn exert a deep impact
on the various segments of the society in general and the corporates in particular.
For a student, especially one aspiring to embark on a professional journey it is
imperative that each such change be noted, studied and understood with the
intent of gaining not just information but wisdom and perspective at a broader
level.
Jiddu Krishnamurti, a world renowned philosopher, speaker and writer said and I
quote, “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an
examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you
are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.” While CSEET may seem
to be the point of stepping foot into the academic journey, to me, it is the
beginning of a never-ending, life-long journey of learning – of attainment of
knowledge and of striving towards excellence. Never can a few books be enough
